How did it go from no one can beat Brock because he's too big, to Big Nog taking it to Lesnar? WTF people?

Anyway, my opinion stays the same here. I do think Brock would win the fight, but I would not count Nog out. I honestly see Brock grinding on Nog the entire fight with Nog's best chance to catch a submission in the 4th or 5th round. If Nog's going to win the fight, it'll be in those rounds.

Nogueira's face (or what was left of it) would look like raw hamburger meat by then.

it really depends , frank mir can beat lesnar its just that when lesnar took him down he landed in side controll both times.. if he lands in franks guard..or shit in minotauros guard..i dought he can controll the ground fight like he did vs mir 2

Well, that's obvious. There's no way Brock is already as skilled as Nog. However, I think Brock would just grind out a decision against him. Nog might give Brock more problems than Mir with sweeps and whatnot and maybe he could even slap on a submission somewhen and win, but the fight would not be even at all up to that point.

I'm afraid this will be a terrible beating for Nog. I love Nog and I don't want to see him tooled as Mir did.

One of Nogs great assets is his wrist control and I dont think it will matter with Brock hes too strong and unlike Sapp, Lesner is an accomplished wrestler which will greatly help him get and hold the positions he wants just like he did with Mir. Technique will usually win but not in a case like this. Lesner is way to athletic and huge for Nog to pull this off. Lesner moves freakishly fast for a guy that size and I dont think Nog has ever experieced someone like that. Randy fights in slow mo compared to Brock. Back when Severn fought Gracie, Dan didnt know what a triangle choke was much less how to defend it. If Nog is getting the better of the standup, Lesner will take him down, no problem IMO

Poor Nog fans yearning for the past.... it's hard to let go. But if you are realistic, even Randy was catching Nog pretty good in the standup a few times, if he exchanges and takes shots like that with Brock, it's probably goodnight. The reach advantage will be crazy and i honestly dont think Nog ever had crisp enough striking, even in his prime, to scare Brock. Obviously Brock will take him down at will, i dont see anyway for Nog to avoid that and Brock is getting deadly with positioning and holding ppl's hips down with his weight.

50/50 as somebody mentioned?? hehe, i see it as 95/5, barring the miricle sub (and i would think it be a heel hook or kneebar, nothing upperbody, not gonna happen) i see no real reason to think Big Nog has any chance to defeat Lesnar.
